Plot 105
My allotment plot is the main source of materials for my work and I am exploring the potential of what grows there, planted and wild, as well as other materials found on the plot. Plants are used for natural dyeing, botanical contact printing and to make basic botanical inks. Plant fibres are explored for their potential for cordage making.
